Why Work With TVS SCS?
Work When and Where You Want
As an independent supplier of courier services, you choose when to work. Whether you’re looking for full-time opportunities or flexible hours that fit around your lifestyle, you’re in control. Our operations run 24/7/365, so there’s always work available — mornings, evenings, overnight or weekends.
Local Reach, National Opportunities
From Aberdeen to Dublin and everywhere in between, our 31 Service Centres mean there’s always work nearby. You can choose to take local deliveries or accept longer-distance jobs — and often receive new work as you return through other Service Centre areas.
Earnings That Reflect Your Effort
As a self-employed courier, your earnings are directly linked to the jobs you complete and the availability you choose to offer. Many of our couriers earn between £500 and £700 per week, with some achieving £1,500 or more, depending on how often they work and the types of jobs they accept.
After a short initial processing period, payments are made weekly and sent straight to your bank account, accompanied by a clear self-bill statement showing every completed job and the amount earned.
And because you run your own business, you’re free to work with other courier operators alongside the services you provide to TVS SCS. We actively encourage this — allowing TVS SCS to form just one part of your broader earnings mix as you grow your courier business.
Courier Alliance: Find Jobs as You Drive
TVS SCS uses the Courier Alliance app to give you live access to courier jobs across the country. As you drive, the app automatically broadcasts available jobs in your area — giving you the option to bid on any that suit your schedule.
- Receive live job alerts while on the move
- Bid your own price based on what each job is worth to you
- Access courier work from any TVS SCS Service Centre, not just your local one
The app is a powerful tool to help you fill your diary, maximise your earnings, and operate with full flexibility.
What You’ll Need to Get Started
No previous courier experience? No problem. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds who are reliable, professional, and ready to succeed. To become an approved supplier, you’ll need:
- A suitable vehicle (car or van) that is less than 10 years old
- Hire and reward insurance for the carriage of goods
- A smartphone to access the Courier Alliance app
- A full UK or EU driving licence
- Proof of your right to work in the UK or Ireland
- Completion of a basic criminal record check (DBS or equivalent)
- Self-employed status — you’re responsible for your own tax affairs
Couriers using vans often secure a higher volume of work, making them ideal for those looking to maximise their earnings.
Insurance Made Simple with Business Choice Direct
We’ve partnered with Business Choice Direct, one of the UK’s leading commercial insurance providers, to make your journey into courier work even easier.
- Exclusive discounts on van, car and fleet insurance
- Unlimited mileage cover
- Cover for Goods in Transit, Public Liability and Gap insurance
- Flexible payment plans to suit your cash flow
- Instant documentation so you can get on the road without delay
Currently, on average many of our suppliers pay:
- Around £47/week for van insurance
- Around £31/week for car insurance (subject to individual circumstances)
Be a Professional, Independent Courier
When you become an approved supplier to TVS SCS, you’re not tied exclusively to us. We encourage you to operate as a professional, independent business — providing your courier services to other operators across the UK in addition to the services you choose to provide to TVS SCS.
This is a key part of maintaining your self-employed status — and it’s a smart way to grow your earnings and diversify your work.
- Accept or decline jobs
- Work with other courier networks and platforms
- Run your business your way
Support from Day One
Once you’re onboarded, your local Service Centre team is there to offer support and guidance. We’ll help you get up to speed quickly and connect you with the opportunities that work for you.
